Of interest to ADCS and IBS, the following sections in particular:
2) Rebuilding our criminal law system:
•Reinstate the Law Reform Commission and Court Challenges programme.
3) Reverse trend to slippery citizenship:
•Repeal C-24 (only one citizenship exists – unless obtained by fraud, citizenship is citizenship).
•Repeal FATCA (found in omnibus C-31)
The complete list is available at:

Elizabeth May could be a one person government. Good work, Ms May!
I hope there will be ways to make Elizabeth May a strong voice in Canada’s 42nd Parliament and beyond.
Your Prime Minister sounds like our current president. Every hour he issues another proclamation or regulation. He figures if he floods the bureaus and every agency with new stuff, that nobody can or will read them all. He makes many so mundane taht we stop reading and then ZING he hits us between the eyes and we don’t even know it. Everything he does is a paraphrase of one section or another of the Manifesto written by Karl Marx. Each and every person he was influenced by growing up was an avowed Marxist and most never even bothered to deny it. Frank marshal Davis, His mother, his grandmother and grandfather, his father Barak Obama Sr, Bill Ayers, and his wife Bernadette Dorn,who were founders of the Weather underground and later College professors, Louis Farakhhan, Rev.Jeremiah Wright, His wife Michelle and her parents of the Jesse Jackson Family and on and on. Saul Alinsky who wrote Rules For Radicals was his stated idol and he uses that book to guide his every move.
Pray that the next president will be a believer in capitalism and a fervent anti-communist, so that we may stay a free people, if there are any freedoms left when he departs the White House. He has already said Hillary will be the conduit to his de facto third term.
Wow! I echo Calgary’s hopes that Elizabeth May’s talents will be recognized fully by the new Liberal government and that ways will be found to involve her in policy-making. What a wonderful people’s advocate she is!
I don’t follow Canadian politics very closely, but let me warn you about holding out hope the politicians will do what they promised…….let me know a year from now if Canada has repealed FATCA and all its baggage that the Orwellian States have dreamed up.
I can speak for the U.S. citizen. We have a tax code of 73,000 pages with every line caused by a contributor to one campaign fund or another. 51% of our citizens vote for a living and there are fewer citizens with jobs as a percent of the adult population than at any time since the 1968-1972 recession.
Our myth that our House Of Representatives actually will do the citizens will, is fading away by the day.
We sent a new bunch in both elections just passed and they still collect campaign contributions to slip into unread bills, a tax break that nobody get but the contributor. When they void all Federal Taxes, Pass the FairTax, a national sales tax, and stop extorting campaign contributions to vote a certain way, then I will be looking for the Flying Pigs that will happen, before they give up the bribes to represent people who own them, but didn’t send them to D.C.

Perhaps the Trudeau Government should be reminded about Canada’s place on the Secrecy Index – 29th.
The USA is the 3rd most secret banking country in the world behind Switzerland, and Hong Kong.
The US should put its own house in order before going to countries like Canada.
Elizabeth May: Fixing what Harper broke, part two:
The toxic culture in our House of Commons must end

The U.S. politicians talk a good game but when it comes to enacting reforms, they are a bunch of pathological liars. They pretend to hate the IRS, but to a man or woman, they keep an 83,000 page tax code that conforms to the Communist Manifesto, 2nd chapter where Marx asks for a progressive Income tax in order to destroy the despised Middle Class.
With the U.S. politician it is the campaign money that flows in to their campaign funds, from the members of the tax writing Ways and Means Committee, who extort it from anyone who wants the law changed to favor their client. The Tax law was stripped down to basics in 1986 and has been amended 8300 times since then and every amendment has benefitted a particular person or company and only after they sent a check to the reelection fund of the congressman or woman, to be shared with others so they will vote and keep quiet. Real hypocrits,eh?
